Okay so I'm only doing this once so listen up if you recognize it then it isn't mine! If it's new or unusual it's mine or a variation of something that was already created.

This isn't going to be a children's story, but for the first few chapters I will have it very mild because their relationship is developing and I don't want to rush it too much.

One last note ignore Severus being in love with Lily and Dumbledore being gay that is not in my story! Now on with the fun!

The first time Severus Snape saw Bryn Dumbledore she was hiding in her father's robes, and all he could do was sneer at her. She was a blood traitor's daughter after all, even if he was a powerful blood traitor. His mother only ever spoke to Dumbledore if his father beat her too badly.

The first time Severus Snape ever notice Bryn Dumbledore she sat at her mother's desk with her seven year old smile and her blue eyes contrasting starkly with her fiery red hair. Even as a eleven year old first year he knew she was small for her age and then her found that weakness as something her could later use to torment her. Now if only she would get out from behind her parents robes.

The first time Severus Snape ever heard Bryn Dumbledore teased by James Potter he felt the need to protect her as no one ever protected him. If Potter did it then others would soon follow. Besides he was supposed to tease her not Potter. Potter would be cruel, as would he, but Potter was an ass. No one he teased deserved it, and neither did this girl.

The first time Severus Snape felt truly cared for was when Bryn Dumbledore stopped Sirius Black from hexing him to look like a pig. Not that he needed a second year blood traitors help mind you, but the thought counts, and she was a Slytherin. Known for her cunning, it wasn't that hard to accept her help.

The first time Severus Snape kissed Bryn Dumbledore it was after the Slytherin beat the Gryffindors at Quidditch. He didn't really mean to do it. It just kind of happened. Once he kissed her he never wanted to stop. All he wanted to do was feel her warm skin and her soft lips. He wanted to smell her floral scent mixed with that of whatever potion she had brewed that day. He wanted to feel the shocks running through his body and see the wonder in her eyes showing she felt it too. He just wanted to be near her if that was all he could get.

The hardest day of Severus Snape's life was the day he graduated. He had been tormented, made fun of and pushed aside, but he had also gotten an education, made a friend or two, made top marks for the school's history, beaten Gryffindor at Quidditch for the house cup for the first time in Hogwarts history, and he found the love of his life.

Only time would tell how the next four years would go, but everyone needs someone to help them when they make mistakes and everyone needs to find someone who loves them no matter what. Severus knew no matter what he loved Bryn, but to insure he didn't his mother made the worst mistake for him, and in four years he wasn't sure if Bryn would still love him, but what could he do now? If he didn't do his mother's Dark Lord's bidding he'd be cast out and disowned. All he could do was wait it out and remain faithful to the woman he loved above all others. Now if he could just explain the situation to her. She might understand.

Alright guys review if you want I may add Bryn's POV if you'd like more adequate descriptions of character's in the next chapter. Bryn is four years younger than Severus and so she's a third year. I'm not really sure how often I'll update, but I'll try to be timely no promises though. This kind of sets up how their relationship has progressed through the years. If you review anonymously I will simple ignore what your comment is if it's hurtful I really don't like not being able to defend myself.
